INTRO Riff before vocals kick in D|-----------|| A|-----------|| E|-0h4p0h2-0-|| I lie awake at night, think about the things I said and all that I've done About the ways that I've cheated and failed at life, and how I never seem to get much done Now I walk around in the day sometimes, and I scream at the top of my lungs in my head And I shoot my guns and I sing my songs, will you be there after I'm dead?
